The following guide will teach you how to migrate your game server and data from GTXGaming to Citadel Servers.
Step 1: Create a Backup in GTXGaming
Before beginning the migration process, create a full backup through your GTXGaming control panel.
This backup can be used as a recovery point if any files are accidentally omitted or overwritten during the transfer.
Step 2: Download Your Server Files
Access your GTXGaming File Manager or connect using FTP to download your server files.
We recommend downloading all important data, including:
• World saves
• Maps and custom worlds
• Mods and workshop content
• Plugins
• Configuration files
• Custom scripts
• Player profiles and permissions
Save the files to your local computer before proceeding.
Step 3: Upload Files to Citadel Servers
Connect to your Citadel Servers service using FTP or the Game Panel File Manager.
Upload the files downloaded from GTXGaming into the appropriate directories on your Citadel Servers service.
FTP is recommended for larger servers and game worlds due to faster transfer speeds and greater reliability.
You can follow our FTP setup guide here: FTP Guide
Step 4: Verify Server Configuration
Before starting your server, verify that:
• The correct game version is installed
• Mods, plugins, and workshop content were uploaded successfully
• Configuration files transferred correctly
• Startup parameters match your previous setup
• Administrative permissions are configured properly
Step 5: Start and Test Your Server
Start your Citadel Servers service and confirm that all content was migrated successfully.
• Worlds load correctly
• Player data is present
• Mods and plugins function properly
• Players can connect without issues
Alternative Method: Upload a Backup Archive
If you created a backup archive from GTXGaming, you may upload it directly to your Citadel Servers service through the File Manager.
After uploading, extract the archive and place the files into their proper server directories.
